Now that the weather is warmer, well at least theoretically, we\u2019re beginning to feel obsessed over frozen treats. Ice cream is universal, indeed! From the French sorbets, to the Turkish dondurma<\/em> and Indian smooth and locally flavored ice cream, taking a world tour just to try as many as you can sounds like the perfect plan. So here they are: 7 traditional ice cream recipes worth dying for!<\/p>\n

Who was behind this brilliant idea?<\/b><\/p>\n

Well is appears that the Chinese elite used to really enjoy their frozen desserts about 4,000 years ago. It all began with frozen syrups, but as they became hooked, they invented a method that could make ice cream before the invention of any refrigerator: \u201cThey poured a mixture of snow and saltpeter over the exteriors of containers filled with syrup, for, in the same way as salt raises the boiling-point of water, it lowers the freezing-point to below zero,\u201d according to the History of Food, <\/i>by Maguelonne Toussaint-Samat. The Persians enjoyed it big time as well. And finally, when the Arabs invaded Sicily in the 8th<\/sup> century, the obsession was passed on.<\/p>\n

The ice cream recipe was brought to North America in 1744 by Scottish colonists. Nowadays Americans and Australians are the most dedicated ice cream eaters in the world, but nevertheless almost every country enjoys it and adapts it to local culinary inclinations.<\/p>\n

Strange, strange flavors, but yet so appealing\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

India\u2019s kulfi <\/i>is very dense and somewhat granular due to a mix of condensed milk, sugar and exotic flavors like saffron and cardamom. Its particularly dense texture resembles custard and it is a consequence of the milk being boiled down to a thick liquid.<\/p>\n

Turkey\u2019s stretchy ice cream is definitely unique. This ice cream called dondurma<\/i> has a similar pliability to taffy. And the sellers always make a show when you pass by. It is made with salep, which is ground orchid root, a substance that gives the ice cream a curious elasticity.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s halva <\/i>ice cream will raise your blood sugar to its peaks. As some of you may have heard, or even tried, halva is very sweet, yet irresistibly tasteful. It\u2019s a simple treat made from sesame seeds mashed into a sugar-and-honey paste.<\/p>\n

\"7<\/a><\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s mochi <\/i>is definitely something else. It\u2019s good old ice cream mixed with mochi (a rice cake made of mochigome<\/i>, a short-grain rice). Actually the ice cream is wrapped in mochi, which is dusted with cornstarch on the outside. You should try the green tea and red bean flavors.<\/p>\n

Tuscany\u2019s olive oil gelato<\/i> is made, according to its name, using olive olive oil along with cheese, seasonal fruit and grapes. It\u2019s the creamiest ice cream you\u2019ll ever taste! Italians are very fond of their natural resources and they like to make everything with ingredients bought from their local providers using their traditional products, and this gelato is the perfect example of the efficient Italian cooking.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s spaghetti-ice<\/i> is a 1960 invention that basically puts vanilla ice cream through a potato or meat ricer. The resulting spaghetti dish is topped with strawberry jam, which serves as tomato sauce and coconut flakes or white chocolate shavings that stand for the Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n

Save the best for last<\/b><\/p>\n

Dear reader, here\u2019s something special for you. In case you don\u2019t have a sweet tooth, think again. There\u2019s something called Creamed Cod Ice Cream <\/i>and it can be eaten at George\u2019s Portobello Fish Bar<\/a><\/i> in London. It looks just like the hot and traditional Fish&Chips, London\u2019s pride dish, but instead of steaming fried fish, it\u2019s actually vanilla ice cream coated with a pepper-vanilla batter and then deep-fried. The chips you see in the picture above are made from potato ice cream. This is definitely a taste to remember.<\/p>\n
